What Are Active Grill Shutters (AGS)?
Active Grill Shutters (AGS) are an innovative feature found in modern vehicles designed to enhance fuel efficiency and optimize engine temperature control. Located in front of the radiator, these shutters automatically open and close based on vehicle speed, temperature, and airflow needs. By controlling airflow, AGS reduces aerodynamic drag and improves fuel economy, especially at highway speeds.
When functioning correctly, AGS helps:
- Enhance fuel efficiency by reducing drag.
- Maintain optimal engine temperatures in various driving conditions.
- Improve emissions control through more efficient engine cooling.
However, when AGS malfunctions, it can lead to reduced performance, engine overheating, and increased fuel consumption.
How the AGS Off Service Works
Our AGS Off service is a software modification that disables the malfunctioning grill shutters without needing physical repairs or part replacements. Here’s how the process works:
- DTC Code Identification - To begin, provide us with the existing diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) from your vehicle. These codes help us identify the specific issues related to your Active Grill Shutters (AGS) and guide us in determining the best course of action.
- Actuator Unplugging - In many cases, the AGS actuator needs to be manually unplugged to complete the software deactivation. We will inform you if this step is required for your vehicle, but the process itself is straightforward and can be done by the vehicle owner.
- AGS Deactivation - Using software, we will deactivate the AGS system in your vehicle, ensuring it no longer affects engine performance or causes dashboard errors.
- Completion - Once the deactivation is complete, you can enjoy improved vehicle reliability without worrying about recurring AGS malfunctions or costly repairs.
How the AGS Modification Service Works
- Eligibility Check: We’ll first determine if your vehicle is compatible with AGS Modification. Some vehicles allow for software adjustments to the AGS system to control when the shutters open or close.
- AGS Modification: Once we confirm eligibility, we’ll customize the AGS system through software to adjust the timing of the shutters. This modification can provide benefits such as:
- Improved engine cooling for vehicles driven in extreme temperatures or that frequently tow heavy loads by opening the shutters earlier.
- Enhanced aerodynamics and fuel efficiency for highway drivers by keeping the shutters closed longer to reduce drag.
- Completion: Once the modification is complete, your AGS system will be optimized for better performance and efficiency, tailored to your specific driving habits.
